My wife just spent four hours waiting in Urgent Care at the nearest hospital, on the advice of the NHS Maternity Service, because she's showing signs of preeclampsia. Can lead to fatal blood clots. She's a high-risk pregnancy.
Seen by an African nurse who barely speaks English, and makes multiple spellings errors in her notes and hospital letter.
After four hours of waiting, she's seen by a doctor — who tells her to make her own way to another hospital to wait in the Accident & Emergency department to get tested there instead.
Comes home and calls the hospital, who transfers her to a maternity service, also staffed by an African woman with an indecipherable accent, totally indifferent to the urgency of the situation. Tells her to come into the hospital and wait.
We went to this same hospital months ago, when we thought she had miscarried. Took seven hours to see us, and after telling us twice we had probably lost the baby, they did an ultrasound which showed she was fine. Somehow, they managed to miss A SECOND BABY with the ultrasound, though.
So now she's in A&E for another few hours, either for a life-threatening condition that's getting worse while she waits, or for something a quick scan and an Aspirin prescription will fix in moments.
No wonder maternal mortality has increased.
The incompetence, inefficiency, waste, and negligence in NHS maternity services is astounding. It's not just strain on the system from demand: it's that frontline staff are not compassionate or qualified.
Nobody seems willing to criticise this because it's mean, but so many people who interact with NHS services have a bad story.
It doesn't have to be like this. I don't care what needs to change to make it work. Just make it fit for purpose.
🚨PREDATOR ALERT: UK 🚨
This is Martin Ponting. In 1995, he was handed a life sentence for the brutal rape of two young girls.
In 2007, he announced that he was actually a woman, and began calling himself “Jessica Martina Winfield.”
By 2017, he’d bullied the ministry of justice into agreeing to provide him with a taxpayer-funded vaginoplasty. The surgery took place in March of that year, and Ponting then received an immediate transfer to HMS Bronzefield, a women’s prison, where he remained until his release in 2022.
Unfortunately, Ponting has not faded quietly from view. He’s active on X, and has admitted to having installed light bars in his vehicle, of the sort that undercover police officers use, “for emergency work.”
Pretending to be a law enforcement officer is a common tactic of rapists and sex killers. Ted Bundy used the trick with multiple victims, although his subterfuge didn’t include lights. Pulling a woman over on a deserted road is an easy way to get her alone, and to put her off guard — and look at the way this man is dressed. Edging right up to the line, doing everything but actually offending, is how sex offenders work themselves up to actually committing the crime. They go a little further every time until they work up the nerve to act.
This man has already raped two victims, and his current behavior can only be described as concerning. I assume he’s still on the UK version of parole; where is his parole officer? Do they not monitor social media? For a convicted rapist to be installing light bars in a vehicle should be setting off all kinds of alarms.

Fauci sabotaged ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine so the COVID vaccine could get approved. This alone could have saved millions of lives—People would not have taken the vaccine.
He demonized it so that pharmacists would not fill doctor's prescriptions.

No matter the lies from the legacy media, the slander, or the Commission’s attempts to silence us; we will continue to grow.
Europe wants Remigration.
And together we will make it a reality.
I really don't think "You're lucky we've got paid security to prevent you being murdered by Islamists for speaking at the world's oldest and most prestigious bastion of free expression" is quite the pro-immigration flex you think it is, love.
.@YvetteCooperMP, when the gay victims of the UK puberty blockers trial come forward to a public inquiry, you won’t be able to say you never knew they were gay.
Cass admits most boys questioning their gender “GROW UP TO BE GAY MEN!”
KILL THE TRIAL NOW!
For the first time in recorded history, a civilization has decided that the most enlightened virtue is to surrender its culture, heritage, women, and children without putting up any defence. Suicidal empathy shall prove to be the demise of the West.
Clear evidence that @StephenFlynnSNP@larabirdsnp and @JohnSwinney are lying. Here is @NicolaSturgeon and @theSNP openly opposing new oil and gas licences. They also criticised Westminster when they were issued and backed a supertax on energy companies. @theSNP are directly responsible for @bp_plc pulling out of Aberdeen.
Men cannot breastfeed. That's basic biology.
Yet taxpayers have handed over £750,000 to a group promoting exactly that.
Whoever signed this off should be sacked.
@WhatNowDoc Great to hear from you and glad you are managing to do more than you probably should, but it's your body, your life, your decision, and happiness in your surroundings is a great tonic - just add a bit of gin!
As usual, women and children are the victims. Women, having one of their most precious gifts tarnished and stolen, and babies who are treated as props in this abusive fetish.
This isn’t “inclusion.”
It’s a fetish. Grown men getting off on hormone-hacked nipple discharge while using actual babies as props.
That fluid is not milk. The risks to infants are unknown and untested. And the Scottish taxpayer is bankrolling the whole grotesque performance.
Men cannot breastfeed.
We said Mandy Lindsay 👏🏻
